Next, thatoneguyyouknow's contribution.
(Hope I got these right)
Except the CBD Strawberry, those were left over from last year.

My poor zinnia & marigolds are struggling to sprout cause they are outside exposed to the cool nights an mornings. Daytime is warm but still no show in the trays. I saved sooo many seeds off them and thought i'd get at least 60 plants each but i've not seen a one come up. 😭
 
I got a big bag of marigold seeds from old Mexico. It’s nice to mix of the varieties. I asked my guy to bring me bag some weed seeds from his region, see how that works out. He said,” isn’t that illegal?”I said so is smuggling a shotgun to Mexico, but that didn’t stop you.

So sad. Hate when that happens. It's why I start so many seeds, you never know.
And I'm bummed that my Humboldt Blueberry Muffin seeds never germinated.
Think I'll put another couple in the trays and see what happens.
(on second thought, I think I have enough plants. LOL)
 
Allergic to marigolds. 🙁
And we use the zinnias as a living fence between our patio and the neighbor's garage.
my mom has these huge fall flowering marigolds that come back from seed on their own ever spring.

They all get big for marigolds, but every year she has some that get 5-6ft tall.

@Galgrows i can probably send you like a Lb of fall flowering orange/red marigold seeds if you want lol. Theres a few people here growing moms marigolds already. She has baskets full of ziplocks packed tight with dried out marigold deadheads. We have a basically endless supply of them, iris bulbs, daffodil bulbs, blackberry shoots. Yucca roots. Theres a list of stuff that comes back on its own here every year always more numerous then the previous year, and we end up cutting lots out of the ground and pulling as many deadheads as we can anyway,
 
Okay, the first test.
Beautiful day, so I took them all outside for the day, then put them in the greenhouse last night.
Temps. got down to low fortys, but these plants are tuff, right?
Lesson learned: Don't water, then put in a dark cold greenhouse overnight.
Believe they've gotten the damping-off disease. (would have been okay, had I not soaked the trays)

I don’t know about damping off, but it looks like they’ve got that too far from the light disease!
